While Quicksilver is often referred to as Marvel ’s fastest Italian sandwich , Captain Marvel has been able to get himbefore over a short space . This make sense , as Carol ’s dangerous undertaking involve literally flying through space and to distant coltsfoot . However , even Captain Marvel could n’t trip up Ryan inThe Sentry # 3 , when the young Italian sandwich assisted the Avengers against the U - Foes , take the powerful team down in seconds . Now , Mallory has even greater mightiness than Ryan Sentry , and crucially , she ’s begun training to use them as effectively as potential .

Solarus Just Became Marvel’s Most Powerful Hero - But She Has a Lot to Learn
While fan often think of theSentry as Marvel ’s Superman , that ’s only part of the accuracy . When Bob Reynolds unlock the power of the Sentry , he was ineffective to face up the duty of his raw power , and so he subconsciously divided them between two personas - the Sentry and the Void . Sentry has all the stereotypical powers of a Superman - esque hero - invulnerability , superstrength , flight of stairs - but that ’s just because these are the great power hewants . In fact , Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato Jr. ‘sDark Avengersrevealed thatSentry is in reality a realness - warper . He has total restraint over world on a molecular degree , and can turn that into any mightiness he wants .
Despite her power spirit level , Solarus ' debut is dangerously interchangeable to Quasar - a cosmic powerhouse that Marvel introduced with great flash , then basically block .
In the past , Sentry has shown the power to pull holes in world , raise the dead , teleport , live on make his school principal tear to pieces , and telepathically alter the computer memory of everyone on the planet . Meanwhile , the Void - who is just another aspect of Bob - has been evidence to shapeshift , wield darkness as a weapon , and assure the conditions . The Sentry ’s power level redefines what ' pep pill ' can mean in Marvel ’s reality . In Rick Remender and Daniel Acuña’sUncanny Avengers # 9 , Sentry face off against Thor . As part of the conflict , he catch the God of Thunder by the throat and flies him across space , with the tale confirming that"the Sentry ’s velocity bends distance and time . “The proceeds elucidate that even fighting against Thor , Sentry ’s fastness is " many times the speed of brightness level . "
Mirror mirror , on the wall , who ’s the degenerate one of all ? From the Flash to Quicksilver , we look down the fast man and women alive ( in strip ) .
The power that Solarus just inherit does n’t simply make her Marvel ’s riotous or even most powerful bomber . rather , it ’s the power to rewrite natural law however she chooses- indeed , that ’s register when she resurrects the ghostwriter of her fellow replacement and even fit them in new costume . As Mallory receives the Sentry ’s power , she exclaims,“I did n’t have sex he could do so much . “The truth is , the full extent of Sentry ’s powers are n’t even known to fans , but we do bonk that his ability can efficaciously break any ruler of Marvel ’s reality . Now , that power rests with Solarus .

However , Solarus ' immense raw power will only prove relevant if next creative teams in reality choose to expend Mallory Gibbs in their floor . A similar storyline - part of Marvel’sSecret Empireevent - sawS.H.I.E.L.D. agent Avril Kincaid become the Modern Quasar . Taking possession of the Quantum Bands , Quasar became so sinewy that she could instantly destroy an energy shield that had held the Guardians of the Galaxy , Captain Marvel , and Hyperion at alcove for weeks . However , despite arguably becoming Marvel ’s most powerful Cuban sandwich , she ’s scarce been come across or mentioned since , outside a shortlived show inGuardians of the Galaxy . GivenSecret Empirewas published seven year ago , Avril Kincaid makes it clear that in the ever - changing macrocosm of comics , being granted immense power is no guarantee a quality will persist salient .
Hopefully , this is just the kickoff of Solarus ' journeying in Marvel Comics , as she begins training to maintain abilities that make her Marvel ’s fastest and most sinewy fighter . With the powers of theSentrynow being wielded by an inexperient but consecrate Italian sandwich , Marvel just got a fascinating unexampled offense - fighter - however the true trial of Mallory ’s potential will be meter , and how close Marvel finally decides to follow her journeying .
